Cowes RallyThe Owners' Association was formed .in1987,by Mike Wood who purchased the first Seaward 23 "Zenith"that appeared at the Southampton International Boat Show in 1985.The Association was called the "23 Squadron". The first gathering was held in Guernsey in 1988 where 8 boats attended.This set the seal on what was to become an annual event, held at various venues along the south coast, as well as Guernsey, with craft making cross channel trips so that owners, family and friends may enjoy an informal 'get together'.
With the introduction of other size models in the Seaward range including boats in lengths of 25, 29, 35 and with models 19 and 21 in the pipeline, the 23 Squadron was renamed the Seaward Squadron.
The original aims of the association have remained very much in their original form to the present day and are as follows:-
The only qualification for membership is to be an owner or a former owner of a Seaward boat.
There is no membership fee or subscription.
The Seaward Squadron is run by John Hickman
